Ane great flood O Joy surge thro' Us,
Strange, yet tender as tear,
An it fills and thrills an to US
| Floats your images sac dear.
Dinna gang ava, but linger
Ever here where graces seem,
At the bec'On o your finger,
Dot frae ilka tangled dream,
To be trOOpin' ever comm,
Till we ken the blessed thrOng,
An VII them your praise we're hummin',
In the melody OF song.
LInger, for we love to greet you,
Love to hear your voices sweet,
| Love in sacred prayer to meet you,
Round the SaviOur's mercy seat.
| Linger where the BARNS are cheery,-
Walter an the wee ane too
| Where they'll join the lads in merry
Games O. youth the lang day thro'.
Linger where they'll tread the meadows
Trailin' perfumes at their feet
| Divin' deep into the shadows
| Where the feathered song clans meet.
| Iinger-linger, dinna leave us,
For our hearts sac happy are,
Parting thus will sairiy grieve US
Dinna gang ava sac fur.
